Tastes Like Chicken! Part 2!
Chuey's Corner: Sorry this came out later than I wanted,
I've been busy.
Summary: You can have to much of a good thing! Goku's eaten too
much Cinniburst Gum. Somehow the gum's caused the Super Saiya-jin's
taste buds to go numb for a week! Will Goku be able to cope without
being able to taste ANY food? And what happens when Vegeta finds out
about this? Based on true story that happened to yours truely.
Here's the second half/part 2
Ages: Yes, I know Marron is older than Bra, yes I know their real age differences,
and these ages are kinda screwed up, but I like them this way, so please don't flame me.
Chibi Trunks: 10
Goten & Bra: 8
Marron: 7
Gohan: 17
Everyone else is the same as in the show. Mirai is somewhere in his mid-late teens.
*************************************************************************************************
" Wow, look at all the food! " Bra gasped as she waddled into the kitchen, staring in
shock at the thousands of pastries, cakes, pizzas, cheeseburgers, fish, and other various
food items that surrounded the kitchen and lead outside to the front yard.
" What the heck?! " Chibi Trunks said as he looked around at the treasuretrove of
deserts and snack foods.
" Teeheeheehee! " Vegeta giggled childishly as he carried a giant cake box in his arms,
then stopped when he spotted the children, " Uh--hello brats. " Vegeta switched back to his usual
scowl.
" Daddy, what are you doing with all that food? " Bra asked in a confused manner.
" Why, nothing, I'm just going to bring it to Kakorot's, that's all. " Vegeta snickered
as Chibi Trunks & Bra's jaws dropped to the floor.
" Daddy! Are you...feeling okay? " Bra said, frightened as Vegeta bent down.
" Why of course I am princess. " Vegeta cooed to Bra as Trunks rolled his eyes, " But,
if you really want to know, I'm playing a "game" with Kakorot. " he winked, an evil smile on his
face.
" Huh? " Trunks said suspicously.
" Kakorot ate some kind of strange earth food the other day, and now he won't be able
to taste any of his "precious" food for a week. " Vegeta mocked happily.
" Wait-a-minute. You're giving him stuff to eat, but he can't taste anything you
bought?! " Trunks said, flabbergasted.
" Well, yes, basicly. " Vegeta said, " Now if you'll excuse me, I have some more
potato chips to bring outside. " he grinned, then skipped off, giggling like a little kid in a
candy store.
Trunks looked down at Bra and put his hand on his cheek, " I never wanna get old. "
" WAHHHHH!!!! " Goku cried as he layed down, spread out all over the couch, " I'm so
HUNGRY!!! " his bottom lip wobbled, Goku's stomach let out a roar of displeasure, " Ohhhhhh! "
" Dad, stop moping around. Fix yourself something if you're so "HUNGRY". " Gohan
groaned as Goku looked up at Gohan with big sugary eyes.
" But I don't know how. And even if I did I couldn't because I can't even taste it. "
he sniffled as Gohan looked at his father smuggly.
" I swear, sometimes I think I'm adopted. " Gohan said to himself as the phone rang in
the other room, " MOM! CAN YOU GET THAT! " Gohan called from the living room.
" Okay Gohan. " Chi-Chi said as she picked up the phone, " Mushi Mushi, Son residence,
who's this? "
" Gohan? Is that you? " a girl's voice said on the line as Gohan perked up from the other
room.
" No, this is Chi-Chi, Gohan's mother, and who are you? " Chi-Chi said suspicously.
" Oh, my name's Videl, hasn't Gohan mentioned me to you? " Videl asked as Gohan came
rushing in from the other room, accidently slamming into Chi-Chi. He fumbled around for the
phone.
" Hi-Videl-I'm-sorry-I'll-have-to-call-you-later-bye! " Gohan smacked the phone down
on the hook and breathed a sigh of relief.
" VIDEL? AND JUST WHO IS VIDEL?! " Chi-Chi narrowed her now red eyes at Gohan, who
sweatdropped.
" Uh, no-nobody. She's the uh, milkman. " Gohan stuttered.
" I'm not buyin it kiddo. Besides, we have no MILKMAN! " Chi-Chi growled as Goku began
to wail from the living room.
" WAAAHHHHMILK! WAHHHHH!!!! " Goku sobbed loudly as Gohan & Chi-Chi turned their
attention to Goku, then back to each other.
" You're telling me right now who this girl is Gohan! " Chi-Chi roared as Gohan jumped
to his feet and ran up to his room.
" Sorry-Mom-gotta-study! Later! " Gohan said, locking the door shut. Chi-Chi stomped up
to her son's room and pulled the doorknob out of its socket.
" GOHAN!!! "
" *sniffle*, it's not fair. " Goku cried from the living room, then sniffed the air,
" Food? " his eyes widened as he crawled up to the window, " Food for Goku, food good. " Goku
said in a daze as he plasted his face against the window and gawked with delight. Enough goodies
and snacks were piled across the Briefs front lawn to feed the entire country of Japan for a
year, " It's, so, BEAUTIFUL! " Goku sighed dreamily. He bounded outside, rubbing his hands
together viciously.
" Go ahead Kakorot. " Vegeta grinned as he leaned against the wall of the house, " I got
it all "just for YOU". " he snickered. Goku, unable to keep his thoughts in order as his eyes
darted about mentally devouring all the food on the lawn.
" REALLY VEGETA! " Goku grinned excitedly, " You got all this for little ME! " his
eyes watered, " Gosh that's nice of you Vegeta, I always knew you'd come around! Hee-hee, aww
man this is GREAT! " Goku squealed as he grabbed a humongous chicken leg and opened his mouth &
and bit into it chicken, then stopped and began to sniffle.
" Why, what ever is the matter Kakorot? " Vegeta mocked, pretending to be conserned.
" It, it doesn't taste RIIIGGGHHHTTT! " Goku wailed as he kneeled down.
" Aww, isn't that a shame..." Vegeta's smile extended across his face, Goku still staring
at the ground, " You know Kakorot, you can have as much of it as you want. I'm not giving you
any limit. "
" But, but food's not fun if I can't savor what I'm eating. Candy cane's are pepperminty,
and nachoes are spicy, and chocolate's SO SWEET! " Goku mused, " Oh I could eat it forever!
And rice is so ricey and lemons are sour and grapefruit is too but the regular grapes are sweet
except for the green ones but I don't really like those and OH THE FISH! I LOVE THE FISH! IT'S
SOOOOOOO, SOOOOOOOO, fishy! " Goku waved his arms about as Vegeta stood there in disbelief.
" Kakorot, I don't have time to listen to your baka speeches! " Vegeta huffed, then
glanced back at Goku, who now had a spotlight shown upon him, " Oh Dende! "
" But, BUT THAT'S ALL OVER NOW!! " Goku sobbed, " I'LL NEVER EVER EVER GET TO TASTE
ANY CANDY CANES OR NACHOES OR CHOCOLATE OR RICE OR LEMONS OR GRAPEFRUIT OR GRAPES, OR EVEN
"FISH"!!!!! " he cried as he fainted to the ground, " I'll end up STARVING to death now.
*sniffle* WHY ME! I never did anything to hurt anyone! I've been BETRAYED by my FAVORITE THING
IN EXISTANCE!!! "
" Fish? "
" NO! " Goku cried as he grabbed Vegeta by the shoulders, " FOOOOOD! " he sobbed while
hugging a very disquested and horrified Vegeta, " A SINGLE PACK OF GUM HAS SEALED MY FATE! I
PROMISE I'LL NEVER EAT ANY OF EVER AGAIN! "
" Food? "
" NO! GUM! " Goku held tighter as the terrified Vegeta struggled to push Goku away.
" GET OFF OF ME YOU PATHETIC BAKAYARO! " Vegeta shoved Goku to the ground, " IT'S ALL
YOUR FAULT ANYWAY! I'M NOT THE ONE WHO ATE THAT STUFF! " he looked down at his own clothes &
stuck out his tongue in disquest, " Great, now I have to go burn these. " Vegeta grumbled as he
walked off back into the house.
" Why? " Goku asked, still sniffling mildly.
" BECAUSE YOU WERE JUST BLUBBERING ALL OVER THEM!!! " Vegeta screamed, " ECH! KAKOROT
GERMS!!! " he squrmed like an preschooler who'd just gotten kissed.
" Come on, it's not like I have cooties or something. " Goku said as Vegeta walked back
inside, Mirai began to exit, only to have the door slammed in his face. Goku cringed, " Hi
Mirai! "
" Ugh! " Mirai Trunks rubbed his nose, " What's up with him?! " he pointed at the
back-door.
" He's just mad at me cuz I gave him a hug. " Goku said in a relaxed way, " Ya know I'm
surprised he put out all this food for me and then just ignores me. "
" What foo--HOLY TWINKIES! " Mirai gasped, just noticing that his backyard was filled
with plates and tables of food, " WHAT HAPPENED HERE!!! "
" I dunno. Vegeta bought me all this food, but, I can't have any because I, *sniffle*
KILLED MY MOUTH!!! " Goku wailed as Mirai scratched his head.
" What the heck are you talking about Goku? " Mirai asked as Goku's pupils began to
enlarge again.
" Chi-Chi gave me this food called gum, and I ate some but she told me not to take more
than one piece but I got really really hungry so I just had another and another and another and
another and another and-- "
" Goku! "
" Yes? "
" Just, skip to the point okay? " Mirai groaned as Goku rubbed his eyes & continued.
" And I must've eaten to many of them because when I went to have dinner later on my
taste buds were missing and Bulma said that they're dead. " Goku sighed sadly as he sat on the
lawn, drawing a circle in the dirt with his pointer finger.
" Dead? " Mirai Trunks raised an eyebrow, " They're not "dead" Goku, probably just numb."
" Well, how do I get them un-numb! " Goku said curiously as Mirai narrowed his eyes.
" Just WAIT for them to get back to normal. Even though you can't taste anything doesn't
mean that you can't eat period! "
" Period? Is that a type of fruit? " Goku said, confused.
" No I didn't mean, in that sense I, oh forget it Goku. " Mirai sighed as Goku put his
first two fingers on his forehead.
" I think I'm, gonna go home now. " he said in a babyish voice, then teleported himself
back into his house.
Mirai Trunks grumbled, then looked around, " Now what am I gonna do with all this food?!"
" ECH! NASTY DISQUSTING WEAK-WILLED KAKOROT! " Vegeta growled as he took off his Saiyajin
armor & dropped it to the floor, " One more thing I won't be able to wear again. " he said as he
threw the clothes into the fireplace, " Maybe that Onna will make me another one. "
" Watsa matter Daddy? " Bra said innocently as Vegeta, now only in his boxers, looked
down at his daughter.
" Kakorot ruined Daddy's armor, that's all. " Vegeta remarked, then did a double take.
Bra was sitting on Goten's back, " WHAT ARE YOU DOING! " he exclaimed.
" Playing with Goten, he's my puppy! " Bra hugged Goten, who had a goofy stupid look on
his face, " I LOVE GOTEN! " she smiled as Vegeta reered back, then yanked Goten out from under
Bra & held him up with his left hand, catching Bra with his right & putting her under his arm.
" YOU BLASTED LITTLE KAKOROT CLONE! HOW DARE YOU HALLUCIONATE "MY" PRINCESS!!! " Vegeta
scowled angrily as Bra reached out as far as she could in Goten's direction.
" DA-DEE! He's MINE! " Bra cried as Vegeta smirked.
" Not anymore, HE'S ABOUT TO BE BLASTED INTO THE NEXT DIMENSION! " Vegeta tossed Goten
into the air & zapped him, sending the boy flying through the wall and against the tree in the
front yard, " Sit down *sweetie* I don't want you to get hurt while I'm killing your little
"puppy". " Vegeta said as he sat Bra down and stomped outside, preparing to use his Final Flash
on SonGoten, who got up and waddled about woozily.
" DADDY DON'T HURT HIM! " Bra cried as she got up and ran outside as fast as she could.
" FINALLLLL FLAAAAA--" Vegeta began as his level began to rise, the dizzy Goten now
sitting on the ground, confused. Bra ran out in front of Goten, picking him up & tossing him to
the side.
" DADDY NO! " Bra screamed as Vegeta's eyes widened.
" BRA MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!!!! " he cried, frightened as he tried to hold back his attack.
" Daddy that's a bad bad thing you wanna do to my friend Goten! " Bra scholded as Vegeta
felt his grip on the attack weakening.
" PLEASE BRA MOVE!!! " he cried as he slipped, sending the final flash hurtling towards
the two children, " BRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Vegeta screamed,
then blocked his eyes, opened them, and looked around to see nothing up now burnt ground,
" EEE! " Vegeta yelped, " Bra? Bra? BRA! " he called out nervously, " OH NO! I..I, I KILLED
my widdle B-chan!! " Vegeta slumped to the floor in disbelief of what he had just done, then
looked downward, " That Onna of mine'll kill me! " he gulped, then felt a tap on his back,
" KAKOR--eh? "
" Silly Daddy! " Bra giggled from behind her father, who looked back at Bra & smiled.
" B-CHAN! " Vegeta squealed, squeezing Bra, " I thought I'd killed you! But, how did
you-- "
" Goten SAVED me with his instant transmission that HIS daddy taught him, wight GooGoo?"
Bra giggled, pointing to Goten, who stood a couple feet in front of Vegeta & Bra, staring
out into space.
" WHA?! " Vegeta's mouth hung open, gripping tighter on his daughter, " That THING saved
you by using KAKOROT'S technique! "
" Uh-huh. Isn't he special! " Bra blushed as Vegeta got up and cautiously walked past
Goten, then backed up into the house & bolted the door shut, " He's so kawaii! " she sighed
dreamily as Vegeta glared out the window.
" Special? That's a nice word for what HE is! " Vegeta mumbled, slightly frightened,
then heard a slight rumble from below and looked down.
" Hee-hee, Daddy's tummy's empty! " Bra giggled as her father blushed, then narrowed
his eyes.
" Blasted stomach! " Vegeta growled, his stomach copying him, he set Bra down, " Now
what am I going to eat! I gave that blasted Kakorot all OUR food! Shimata! "
" Oh my God! Am I going to be a Grandmother! " Chi-Chi said, starry-eyed at a beet-red
Gohan, " OH GOHAN! " she hugged her son in excitement, " You ARE going to make me a Grandmother,
AREN'T YOU! " she gave Gohan a cold stare.
" Uhh--I, uh, well we're not even married or anything she's just my girlfriend so I
don't, umm, can I talk about this to you later? " Gohan stuttered.
Chi-Chi sighed, not paying any attention to Gohan, who crept away, " Oh I hope it's
a girl! Chi-ChiJR, I like the sound of that don't you Gohan! Gohan? Gohan? " Chi-Chi glanced
around, " Now where did he go? "
" I can't believe this! " Gohan groaned as he walked up to the front door, only to find
it being slammed in his face. Goku trudged in, his face a pale, sickly green, " FATHER! "
Goku walked over to the couch and flopped down, beginning to whimper.
" FATHER! DAD! Are you okay? " Gohan gasped as Goku looked up at his son, Goku's eyes
moving painfully slow.
" All that food, there was so much of it. " his voice quivered as Gohan groaned.
" Is that it? Dad, there's a little thing called patience, you don't have it! That's
what got you in this mess in the first pla-- "
" --you should've seen it! " Goku smiled, irrigardly, " I was sitting here and then I
smelled something. This beautiful wonderful smell. Do you know what that smell was Gohan? " his
eyes sparkled.
" Your B.O? "
" NO! Foooooood. I peered outside, and there were hundreds, thousands, millions of plates
of foooood. I ran outside and kept staring at um, they were so beautiful....anyway, Vegeta came
out and he told-- "
" VEGETA! HE KNEW THAT YOU CAN'T TASTE ANY FOOD AND HE DECIDED TO JUST GO OUT THERE &
SET UP A SMMOROUSBORG OF IT!!! " Gohan yelled in shock as Goku nodded weakly.
" --and, and, he told me, he said that I can have as much of it as I want and that it
was all for me see? So I grabbed this big piece of chicken, and I take a bite, and I remembered
that I can't taste any, and then Vegeta started to laugh at me cuz he can taste food & I can't
and-- "
Gohan growled angrily, then lit up, " HEY! "
" Is what they make oatmeal out of. " Goku smiled, " I miss oatmeal, I remember when I
used to be able to eat it in one gulp... "
" Not hay, "hey"! I have an idea! " Gohan explained as Goku tilted his head sideways.
" Idea? " Goku blinked, curiously.
" Yeah, come on! " Gohan called as he grabbed Goku's hand & dragged him off to the
kitchen.
Goku sniffled, " The KITCHEN! How I miss thee. Home to the fridge and the freezer and
the microwave and the oven where Chi-Chi bakes those yummy little muffins in, and the-- "
" --hush father! " Gohan grabbed tighter onto Goku's wrist, then let go, " Okay, now I
want you to tell me-- " he said as he reached into a cabinet and pulled out three little packets,
" Which one of these is the gum Mom gave you? "
Goku looked at the packets, then pointed to the one in the middle, " That one! That one
there! I remember because it was red, just like Vegeta's face when I dropped Chi-Chi's Christmas
bags ontop of him. "
" Uh-huh. " Gohan raised an eyebrow, " Now Dad, here's what I want you to do, now just
listen carefully because I don't want you to forget... "
" ROAR!! " Vegeta's stomach screamed in agony as the prince sat at the kitchen table,
the drawers and doors to all of the cabinets and cubbyholes flung open, Vegeta put his arms
on the table & leaned his head sideways upon them.
" Ohhh, blasted Kakorot, it's all his fault! " Vegeta pouted, then glanced around and
stuck his thumb in his mouth and smiled, almost instantly calming himself down. He closed his
eyes.
" Ding dong! " the doorbell rang as Vegeta's eyes popped open, " TRUNKS GET THAT!! " he
shouted furiously as he pulled his thumb out of him mouth, then stuck it back in again.
" I'll get it Daddy! " Bra called back as she skipped up to the frontdoor & opened it,
Goku standing before her, " Oh, hi Mr. Goten's Daddy! " she said in a whisper, glancing back at
Vegeta, who had fallin asleep, " My Daddy's takin a nappy right now. " Bra looked down, " I'd
offer you something Mr. Goten's Daddy, but we're all out of food. "
" Really? That's so SAD! " Goku's eyes watered as he felt a smack across the back of his
head, " OH! Thanks Gohan! "
Gohan zipped back inside one of the bushes, " No! Just give her the food! " he whispered
loudly as Goku & Bra looked at the bush.
" Did that plant just talk? " Bra said, confused.
" Wow! Talking plants! What'll Bulma think of next. " Goku said, equally in awe.
Gohan stuck his hand out of the bush, grabbed the gum in Goku's pocket & handed it to
Bra, then gave an O.K sign & slinked back into the plant.
" Hey! Did you see that! " Goku said, astonished, " How DO they do it? "
Bra looked at the gum, " Ooh, green! " she smiled, " I'll go see if Daddy wants some.
Thank you Mr. Goten's Daddy, thank you Mr. Goten's brother! Bye! " Bra shut the door.
" Well, it worked. " Goku said as Gohan got out of the bush.
" Not exactly as planned, but. " Gohan shrugged, " Come on Dad, let's go home and wait. "
" Wait for what? " Goku asked as he followed his son down the driveway.
" You'll see. "
" Daddy Daddy lookie! " Bra held the green package of gum in front of Vegeta's nose.
Vegeta sniffed and cocked open one eye.
" Waffa hef es bhah? " he said, then closed his eye again.
Mirai Trunks walked into the kitchen and let out a sputter of giggles, " Bra, is he doing
what I THINK he's doing? " he gawked, pointing at Vegeta, who still had his thumb in his mouth.
" Napping? Yup. " Bra said, then looked at Mirai, " Hey Mirai Trunks, want some gum? "
she asked innocently as Mirai stared in disbelief at Vegeta, who had a huge smile across his
face, a content giggle emerging from his lips every so often.
" Never knew they had pacifiers on Bejito-Sei..." Mirai said, then smirked, " Warrior
race, yeah right. " he chuckled to himself as he walked up the stairs, leaving Bra & Vegeta
alone in the kitchen.
" Daddy! Daddy wake up! " Bra shook Vegeta, then smiled, " Guess what! I killed
"Kakorot"!!! " she exclaimed as Vegeta sat up, wide-eyed.
" REALLY!? " he grinned, then noticed Bra laughing happily, " Alright child, what did
you really wake me up for? "
" Lookie what I got! " she dropped the gum in Vegeta's hand, " It's mint. " she smiled.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, " Where did you get this? "
" One of the plants in Mommy's garden gave it to me. " Bra answered as Vegeta raised
an eyebrow.
" Uh-huh. " Vegeta said, then rubbed his hands together & stuffed multiple pieces in his
mouth, " Hey, this is actually pretty good! " he continued to chew the gum.
" Daddy, can I have some? " Bra asked as Vegeta handed her a piece, Bra sniffed the gum.
" Hmm, strange, it doesn't seem minty at all, kind of spicy actually...oh well. " Vegeta
shrugged it off as Bra unwrapped her piece of gum & examined it.
" Hey Daddy, isn't this the same gum that made Goten's Daddy lose his tastebuds? " Bra
said curiously as Vegeta's eyes popped open. He spat out the gum and began to hack.
" THIS CAME FROM KAKOROT'S HOUSE!!!! " he screamed in fright, " THAT BAKAYARO! HE SET ME
UP! I'LL KILL HIM!!! I'LL DESTROY HIM!!! I'LL, " Vegeta yelled at the top of his lungs.
" --end up going a week without being able to taste stuff? " Bra added as Vegeta
nervously licked his lips, unable to taste any of the spicy flavor of the gum still around his
mouth and gasped, then toppled onto the ground, accidently smacking his head against the oven.
" Daddy? Daddy? " Bra shook Vegeta, then bit giggled, " Silly Daddy! "
" Dad? Hey Dad? " Gohan whispered as Goku yawned, " You'll never believe what happened
to Vegeta last night? "
Goku sniffed the air, " PANCAKES! ALRIGHT! " he bounded out of bed & ran out of the room,
the poked his head in the doorway, " Can't talk now son, after I eat! " Goku rushed downstairs &
leaped into his seat, " HI CHI-CHI! " Goku grinned.
" Well, aren't we Mister Perky this morning. I'd never thought you'd get out of that
slump you were in the other day. " Chi-Chi said as she covered a large wedding cake behind her &
served Goku some pancakes.
" I don't know, but I have a feeling something very special's gonna happen to-day! " Goku
smiled as Chi-Chi glanced at her husband oddly.
" What ARE you talking about Goku? " she asked as Goku let out a giggle.
" I got hungry last night, and I went downstairs & took a muffin out of the fridge, and
GUESS WHAT! "
" What? " Chi-Chi said, confused.
" IT TASTED LIKE MUFFIN!!!! " Goku waved his arms about happily as Chi-Chi narrowed her
eyes.
" Are you insulting my cooking SonGoku? " she said warningly as Goku looked at her, then
grabbed his plate & downed his pancakes whole.
" No! I'm saying my tongues back to normal! And the syrup tastes sweet and the pancakes
taste pastrylike and the butter tastes like-- "
" Butter? " Chi-Chi said, trying to add on.
" YEAH! " Goku grinned widely, " How did you know? "
" I'm psychic Goku, I know everything. " Chi-Chi said sarcastically.
" Really? Quick! Tell me what I'm thinking about right now! " Goku said enthusiastically
as Chi-Chi rolled her eyes.
" Food. " she mumbled.
" WOW CHI-CHI! YOU ARE PSYCHO! "
" PsyCHIC Goku. " Chi-Chi corrected, a vein bulging on her forehead.
" That's what I said...HEY! I have to go tell Bulma the great news! BULMA!!! " Goku
cried as he lept out the window. Chi-Chi put her hand on her forehead.
Chi-Chi groaned, " That man is pickles shy of a jar. "
Goku stuck his head in anxiously, " Pickles?! Where?! "
" DING DONG! " the doorbell rang out in a high-pitched sound as Bulma yawned and got up
out of bed.
" Now who could that be! " she walked down the stairs in her light pink robe, then put
on her slippers & slowly opened the door, closing her eyes slightly as a reaction to the
immense sunlight.
" HI BULMA!!! " Goku shouted happily as he grabbed his old friend & hugged her, " GUESS
WHAT BULMA! I'M CURED! I CAN TASTE FOOD AGAIN! ISN'T THAT GREAT!!!! "
Bulma groaned in pain from the squeeze & unlatched herself from Goku's arms, " Huhwha? "
she said, " Goku, I just got out of bed I haven't even had any coffee yet! " she cried as Goku
grinned.
" I HAVE! " he raised his hand as if he were in school.
" I noticed. " Bulma said meekly as she wobbled over to the kitchen & began to brew up
some coffee for herself.
" And ya know what it tasted like?! " Goku continued on in a sing-song voice.
" No Goku, what did it taste like. " Bulma said in a weak voice as she poured the coffee
out into a mug.
" It TASTED like COFFEE!! " Goku waved his arms about happily as Bulma mumbled to herself
" I swear, that man sweats sugar. " she moaned to herself as she sipped her drink, then
sighed contently.
" OHHHHHHHHH!!!! " a familiar voice groaned from upstairs in the bedroom as Goku smiled.
" I bet I know who-that-is! " Goku sang as he skipped over to the bottom of the staircase
as Bulma reached her hand out from where she was sitting.
" NO GOKU! DON'T! " she cried, unfortunately, thanks to Goku's instant transmission, the
saiya-jin was know standing in the bedroom. Bulma got up from her chair & ran up the stairs after
him.
" HI THERE VEGGIEHEAD! " Goku's voice sang out as Vegeta opened his eyes, face to face
with "Kakorot".
" AHH! " Vegeta shrieked, then growled, " KAKOROT! "
" Hey Vegeta, guess what! " he giggled as Vegeta made a fist.
" GET OUT OF HERE KAKOROT! THANKS TO YOU AND THAT BLASTED EARTH FOOD OF YOURS I CAN NO
LONGER TASTE ANYTHING!!! " Vegeta howled angrily as Goku continued to giggle, " What are YOU so
happy about, YOU can't TASTE anything either you fool! "
Goku let out a giggle, " Hey Vegeta, I can do something that you can't! " he sang happily
while Vegeta folded his arms. Goku looked left, then right, " I can taste my foooood and you
can't! Lalalalalalala! Hee-hee-hee! " Goku laughed, prancing about as Vegeta felt his eyes begin
to get soggy as they welled up with tears, " Whatsa matter Vegeta? Are you crying? " Goku asked
as Vegeta pulled the covers overtop of himself and tried desperately to keep himself from bawling
" KAKOROT! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!! " Vegeta cried as he pointed towards the exit.
" Hey Vegeta? " Goku asked as Vegeta pulled the covers off of himself, his eyes glassy.
" WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW!!!! " he screamed as Goku looked about, then pulled something out
of his pocket.
Goku grinned happily as he revealed the object, " Want some gum? "

*************************************************************************************************
" Wow, look at all the food! " Bra gasped as she waddled into the kitchen, staring in
shock at the thousands of pastries, cakes, pizzas, cheeseburgers, fish, and other various
food items that surrounded the kitchen and lead outside to the front yard.
" What the heck?! " Chibi Trunks said as he looked around at the treasuretrove of
deserts and snack foods.
" Teeheeheehee! " Vegeta giggled childishly as he carried a giant cake box in his arms,
then stopped when he spotted the children, " Uh--hello brats. " Vegeta switched back to his usual
scowl.
" Daddy, what are you doing with all that food? " Bra asked in a confused manner.
" Why, nothing, I'm just going to bring it to Kakorot's, that's all. " Vegeta snickered
as Chibi Trunks & Bra's jaws dropped to the floor.
" Daddy! Are you...feeling okay? " Bra said, frightened as Vegeta bent down.
" Why of course I am princess. " Vegeta cooed to Bra as Trunks rolled his eyes, " But,
if you really want to know, I'm playing a "game" with Kakorot. " he winked, an evil smile on his
face.
" Huh? " Trunks said suspicously.
" Kakorot ate some kind of strange earth food the other day, and now he won't be able
to taste any of his "precious" food for a week. " Vegeta mocked happily.
" Wait-a-minute. You're giving him stuff to eat, but he can't taste anything you
bought?! " Trunks said, flabbergasted.
" Well, yes, basicly. " Vegeta said, " Now if you'll excuse me, I have some more
potato chips to bring outside. " he grinned, then skipped off, giggling like a little kid in a
candy store.
Trunks looked down at Bra and put his hand on his cheek, " I never wanna get old. "
" WAHHHHH!!!! " Goku cried as he layed down, spread out all over the couch, " I'm so
HUNGRY!!! " his bottom lip wobbled, Goku's stomach let out a roar of displeasure, " Ohhhhhh! "
" Dad, stop moping around. Fix yourself something if you're so "HUNGRY". " Gohan
groaned as Goku looked up at Gohan with big sugary eyes.
" But I don't know how. And even if I did I couldn't because I can't even taste it. "
he sniffled as Gohan looked at his father smuggly.
" I swear, sometimes I think I'm adopted. " Gohan said to himself as the phone rang in
the other room, " MOM! CAN YOU GET THAT! " Gohan called from the living room.
" Okay Gohan. " Chi-Chi said as she picked up the phone, " Mushi Mushi, Son residence,
who's this? "
" Gohan? Is that you? " a girl's voice said on the line as Gohan perked up from the other
room.
" No, this is Chi-Chi, Gohan's mother, and who are you? " Chi-Chi said suspicously.
" Oh, my name's Videl, hasn't Gohan mentioned me to you? " Videl asked as Gohan came
rushing in from the other room, accidently slamming into Chi-Chi. He fumbled around for the
phone.
" Hi-Videl-I'm-sorry-I'll-have-to-call-you-later-bye! " Gohan smacked the phone down
on the hook and breathed a sigh of relief.
" VIDEL? AND JUST WHO IS VIDEL?! " Chi-Chi narrowed her now red eyes at Gohan, who
sweatdropped.
" Uh, no-nobody. She's the uh, milkman. " Gohan stuttered.
" I'm not buyin it kiddo. Besides, we have no MILKMAN! " Chi-Chi growled as Goku began
to wail from the living room.
" WAAAHHHHMILK! WAHHHHH!!!! " Goku sobbed loudly as Gohan & Chi-Chi turned their
attention to Goku, then back to each other.
" You're telling me right now who this girl is Gohan! " Chi-Chi roared as Gohan jumped
to his feet and ran up to his room.
" Sorry-Mom-gotta-study! Later! " Gohan said, locking the door shut. Chi-Chi stomped up
to her son's room and pulled the doorknob out of its socket.
" GOHAN!!! "
" *sniffle*, it's not fair. " Goku cried from the living room, then sniffed the air,
" Food? " his eyes widened as he crawled up to the window, " Food for Goku, food good. " Goku
said in a daze as he plasted his face against the window and gawked with delight. Enough goodies
and snacks were piled across the Briefs front lawn to feed the entire country of Japan for a
year, " It's, so, BEAUTIFUL! " Goku sighed dreamily. He bounded outside, rubbing his hands
together viciously.
" Go ahead Kakorot. " Vegeta grinned as he leaned against the wall of the house, " I got
it all "just for YOU". " he snickered. Goku, unable to keep his thoughts in order as his eyes
darted about mentally devouring all the food on the lawn.
" REALLY VEGETA! " Goku grinned excitedly, " You got all this for little ME! " his
eyes watered, " Gosh that's nice of you Vegeta, I always knew you'd come around! Hee-hee, aww
man this is GREAT! " Goku squealed as he grabbed a humongous chicken leg and opened his mouth &
and bit into it chicken, then stopped and began to sniffle.
" Why, what ever is the matter Kakorot? " Vegeta mocked, pretending to be conserned.
" It, it doesn't taste RIIIGGGHHHTTT! " Goku wailed as he kneeled down.
" Aww, isn't that a shame..." Vegeta's smile extended across his face, Goku still staring
at the ground, " You know Kakorot, you can have as much of it as you want. I'm not giving you
any limit. "
" But, but food's not fun if I can't savor what I'm eating. Candy cane's are pepperminty,
and nachoes are spicy, and chocolate's SO SWEET! " Goku mused, " Oh I could eat it forever!
And rice is so ricey and lemons are sour and grapefruit is too but the regular grapes are sweet
except for the green ones but I don't really like those and OH THE FISH! I LOVE THE FISH! IT'S
SOOOOOOO, SOOOOOOOO, fishy! " Goku waved his arms about as Vegeta stood there in disbelief.
" Kakorot, I don't have time to listen to your baka speeches! " Vegeta huffed, then
glanced back at Goku, who now had a spotlight shown upon him, " Oh Dende! "
" But, BUT THAT'S ALL OVER NOW!! " Goku sobbed, " I'LL NEVER EVER EVER GET TO TASTE
ANY CANDY CANES OR NACHOES OR CHOCOLATE OR RICE OR LEMONS OR GRAPEFRUIT OR GRAPES, OR EVEN
"FISH"!!!!! " he cried as he fainted to the ground, " I'll end up STARVING to death now.
*sniffle* WHY ME! I never did anything to hurt anyone! I've been BETRAYED by my FAVORITE THING
IN EXISTANCE!!! "
" Fish? "
" NO! " Goku cried as he grabbed Vegeta by the shoulders, " FOOOOOD! " he sobbed while
hugging a very disquested and horrified Vegeta, " A SINGLE PACK OF GUM HAS SEALED MY FATE! I
PROMISE I'LL NEVER EAT ANY OF EVER AGAIN! "
" Food? "
" NO! GUM! " Goku held tighter as the terrified Vegeta struggled to push Goku away.
" GET OFF OF ME YOU PATHETIC BAKAYARO! " Vegeta shoved Goku to the ground, " IT'S ALL
YOUR FAULT ANYWAY! I'M NOT THE ONE WHO ATE THAT STUFF! " he looked down at his own clothes &
stuck out his tongue in disquest, " Great, now I have to go burn these. " Vegeta grumbled as he
walked off back into the house.
" Why? " Goku asked, still sniffling mildly.
" BECAUSE YOU WERE JUST BLUBBERING ALL OVER THEM!!! " Vegeta screamed, " ECH! KAKOROT
GERMS!!! " he squrmed like an preschooler who'd just gotten kissed.
" Come on, it's not like I have cooties or something. " Goku said as Vegeta walked back
inside, Mirai began to exit, only to have the door slammed in his face. Goku cringed, " Hi
Mirai! "
" Ugh! " Mirai Trunks rubbed his nose, " What's up with him?! " he pointed at the
back-door.
" He's just mad at me cuz I gave him a hug. " Goku said in a relaxed way, " Ya know I'm
surprised he put out all this food for me and then just ignores me. "
" What foo--HOLY TWINKIES! " Mirai gasped, just noticing that his backyard was filled
with plates and tables of food, " WHAT HAPPENED HERE!!! "
" I dunno. Vegeta bought me all this food, but, I can't have any because I, *sniffle*
KILLED MY MOUTH!!! " Goku wailed as Mirai scratched his head.
" What the heck are you talking about Goku? " Mirai asked as Goku's pupils began to
enlarge again.
" Chi-Chi gave me this food called gum, and I ate some but she told me not to take more
than one piece but I got really really hungry so I just had another and another and another and
another and another and-- "
" Goku! "
" Yes? "
" Just, skip to the point okay? " Mirai groaned as Goku rubbed his eyes & continued.
" And I must've eaten to many of them because when I went to have dinner later on my
taste buds were missing and Bulma said that they're dead. " Goku sighed sadly as he sat on the
lawn, drawing a circle in the dirt with his pointer finger.
" Dead? " Mirai Trunks raised an eyebrow, " They're not "dead" Goku, probably just numb."
" Well, how do I get them un-numb! " Goku said curiously as Mirai narrowed his eyes.
" Just WAIT for them to get back to normal. Even though you can't taste anything doesn't
mean that you can't eat period! "
" Period? Is that a type of fruit? " Goku said, confused.
" No I didn't mean, in that sense I, oh forget it Goku. " Mirai sighed as Goku put his
first two fingers on his forehead.
" I think I'm, gonna go home now. " he said in a babyish voice, then teleported himself
back into his house.
Mirai Trunks grumbled, then looked around, " Now what am I gonna do with all this food?!"
" ECH! NASTY DISQUSTING WEAK-WILLED KAKOROT! " Vegeta growled as he took off his Saiyajin
armor & dropped it to the floor, " One more thing I won't be able to wear again. " he said as he
threw the clothes into the fireplace, " Maybe that Onna will make me another one. "
" Watsa matter Daddy? " Bra said innocently as Vegeta, now only in his boxers, looked
down at his daughter.
" Kakorot ruined Daddy's armor, that's all. " Vegeta remarked, then did a double take.
Bra was sitting on Goten's back, " WHAT ARE YOU DOING! " he exclaimed.
" Playing with Goten, he's my puppy! " Bra hugged Goten, who had a goofy stupid look on
his face, " I LOVE GOTEN! " she smiled as Vegeta reered back, then yanked Goten out from under
Bra & held him up with his left hand, catching Bra with his right & putting her under his arm.
" YOU BLASTED LITTLE KAKOROT CLONE! HOW DARE YOU HALLUCIONATE "MY" PRINCESS!!! " Vegeta
scowled angrily as Bra reached out as far as she could in Goten's direction.
" DA-DEE! He's MINE! " Bra cried as Vegeta smirked.
" Not anymore, HE'S ABOUT TO BE BLASTED INTO THE NEXT DIMENSION! " Vegeta tossed Goten
into the air & zapped him, sending the boy flying through the wall and against the tree in the
front yard, " Sit down *sweetie* I don't want you to get hurt while I'm killing your little
"puppy". " Vegeta said as he sat Bra down and stomped outside, preparing to use his Final Flash
on SonGoten, who got up and waddled about woozily.
" DADDY DON'T HURT HIM! " Bra cried as she got up and ran outside as fast as she could.
" FINALLLLL FLAAAAA--" Vegeta began as his level began to rise, the dizzy Goten now
sitting on the ground, confused. Bra ran out in front of Goten, picking him up & tossing him to
the side.
" DADDY NO! " Bra screamed as Vegeta's eyes widened.
" BRA MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!!!! " he cried, frightened as he tried to hold back his attack.
" Daddy that's a bad bad thing you wanna do to my friend Goten! " Bra scholded as Vegeta
felt his grip on the attack weakening.
" PLEASE BRA MOVE!!! " he cried as he slipped, sending the final flash hurtling towards
the two children, " BRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Vegeta screamed,
then blocked his eyes, opened them, and looked around to see nothing up now burnt ground,
" EEE! " Vegeta yelped, " Bra? Bra? BRA! " he called out nervously, " OH NO! I..I, I KILLED
my widdle B-chan!! " Vegeta slumped to the floor in disbelief of what he had just done, then
looked downward, " That Onna of mine'll kill me! " he gulped, then felt a tap on his back,
" KAKOR--eh? "
" Silly Daddy! " Bra giggled from behind her father, who looked back at Bra & smiled.
" B-CHAN! " Vegeta squealed, squeezing Bra, " I thought I'd killed you! But, how did
you-- "
" Goten SAVED me with his instant transmission that HIS daddy taught him, wight GooGoo?"
Bra giggled, pointing to Goten, who stood a couple feet in front of Vegeta & Bra, staring
out into space.
" WHA?! " Vegeta's mouth hung open, gripping tighter on his daughter, " That THING saved
you by using KAKOROT'S technique! "
" Uh-huh. Isn't he special! " Bra blushed as Vegeta got up and cautiously walked past
Goten, then backed up into the house & bolted the door shut, " He's so kawaii! " she sighed
dreamily as Vegeta glared out the window.
" Special? That's a nice word for what HE is! " Vegeta mumbled, slightly frightened,
then heard a slight rumble from below and looked down.
" Hee-hee, Daddy's tummy's empty! " Bra giggled as her father blushed, then narrowed
his eyes.
" Blasted stomach! " Vegeta growled, his stomach copying him, he set Bra down, " Now
what am I going to eat! I gave that blasted Kakorot all OUR food! Shimata! "
" Oh my God! Am I going to be a Grandmother! " Chi-Chi said, starry-eyed at a beet-red
Gohan, " OH GOHAN! " she hugged her son in excitement, " You ARE going to make me a Grandmother,
AREN'T YOU! " she gave Gohan a cold stare.
" Uhh--I, uh, well we're not even married or anything she's just my girlfriend so I
don't, umm, can I talk about this to you later? " Gohan stuttered.
Chi-Chi sighed, not paying any attention to Gohan, who crept away, " Oh I hope it's
a girl! Chi-ChiJR, I like the sound of that don't you Gohan! Gohan? Gohan? " Chi-Chi glanced
around, " Now where did he go? "
" I can't believe this! " Gohan groaned as he walked up to the front door, only to find
it being slammed in his face. Goku trudged in, his face a pale, sickly green, " FATHER! "
Goku walked over to the couch and flopped down, beginning to whimper.
" FATHER! DAD! Are you okay? " Gohan gasped as Goku looked up at his son, Goku's eyes
moving painfully slow.
" All that food, there was so much of it. " his voice quivered as Gohan groaned.
" Is that it? Dad, there's a little thing called patience, you don't have it! That's
what got you in this mess in the first pla-- "
" --you should've seen it! " Goku smiled, irrigardly, " I was sitting here and then I
smelled something. This beautiful wonderful smell. Do you know what that smell was Gohan? " his
eyes sparkled.
" Your B.O? "
" NO! Foooooood. I peered outside, and there were hundreds, thousands, millions of plates
of foooood. I ran outside and kept staring at um, they were so beautiful....anyway, Vegeta came
out and he told-- "
" VEGETA! HE KNEW THAT YOU CAN'T TASTE ANY FOOD AND HE DECIDED TO JUST GO OUT THERE &
SET UP A SMMOROUSBORG OF IT!!! " Gohan yelled in shock as Goku nodded weakly.
" --and, and, he told me, he said that I can have as much of it as I want and that it
was all for me see? So I grabbed this big piece of chicken, and I take a bite, and I remembered
that I can't taste any, and then Vegeta started to laugh at me cuz he can taste food & I can't
and-- "
Gohan growled angrily, then lit up, " HEY! "
" Is what they make oatmeal out of. " Goku smiled, " I miss oatmeal, I remember when I
used to be able to eat it in one gulp... "
" Not hay, "hey"! I have an idea! " Gohan explained as Goku tilted his head sideways.
" Idea? " Goku blinked, curiously.
" Yeah, come on! " Gohan called as he grabbed Goku's hand & dragged him off to the
kitchen.
Goku sniffled, " The KITCHEN! How I miss thee. Home to the fridge and the freezer and
the microwave and the oven where Chi-Chi bakes those yummy little muffins in, and the-- "
" --hush father! " Gohan grabbed tighter onto Goku's wrist, then let go, " Okay, now I
want you to tell me-- " he said as he reached into a cabinet and pulled out three little packets,
" Which one of these is the gum Mom gave you? "
Goku looked at the packets, then pointed to the one in the middle, " That one! That one
there! I remember because it was red, just like Vegeta's face when I dropped Chi-Chi's Christmas
bags ontop of him. "
" Uh-huh. " Gohan raised an eyebrow, " Now Dad, here's what I want you to do, now just
listen carefully because I don't want you to forget... "
" ROAR!! " Vegeta's stomach screamed in agony as the prince sat at the kitchen table,
the drawers and doors to all of the cabinets and cubbyholes flung open, Vegeta put his arms
on the table & leaned his head sideways upon them.
" Ohhh, blasted Kakorot, it's all his fault! " Vegeta pouted, then glanced around and
stuck his thumb in his mouth and smiled, almost instantly calming himself down. He closed his
eyes.
" Ding dong! " the doorbell rang as Vegeta's eyes popped open, " TRUNKS GET THAT!! " he
shouted furiously as he pulled his thumb out of him mouth, then stuck it back in again.
" I'll get it Daddy! " Bra called back as she skipped up to the frontdoor & opened it,
Goku standing before her, " Oh, hi Mr. Goten's Daddy! " she said in a whisper, glancing back at
Vegeta, who had fallin asleep, " My Daddy's takin a nappy right now. " Bra looked down, " I'd
offer you something Mr. Goten's Daddy, but we're all out of food. "
" Really? That's so SAD! " Goku's eyes watered as he felt a smack across the back of his
head, " OH! Thanks Gohan! "
Gohan zipped back inside one of the bushes, " No! Just give her the food! " he whispered
loudly as Goku & Bra looked at the bush.
" Did that plant just talk? " Bra said, confused.
" Wow! Talking plants! What'll Bulma think of next. " Goku said, equally in awe.
Gohan stuck his hand out of the bush, grabbed the gum in Goku's pocket & handed it to
Bra, then gave an O.K sign & slinked back into the plant.
" Hey! Did you see that! " Goku said, astonished, " How DO they do it? "
Bra looked at the gum, " Ooh, green! " she smiled, " I'll go see if Daddy wants some.
Thank you Mr. Goten's Daddy, thank you Mr. Goten's brother! Bye! " Bra shut the door.
" Well, it worked. " Goku said as Gohan got out of the bush.
" Not exactly as planned, but. " Gohan shrugged, " Come on Dad, let's go home and wait. "
" Wait for what? " Goku asked as he followed his son down the driveway.
" You'll see. "
" Daddy Daddy lookie! " Bra held the green package of gum in front of Vegeta's nose.
Vegeta sniffed and cocked open one eye.
" Waffa hef es bhah? " he said, then closed his eye again.
Mirai Trunks walked into the kitchen and let out a sputter of giggles, " Bra, is he doing
what I THINK he's doing? " he gawked, pointing at Vegeta, who still had his thumb in his mouth.
" Napping? Yup. " Bra said, then looked at Mirai, " Hey Mirai Trunks, want some gum? "
she asked innocently as Mirai stared in disbelief at Vegeta, who had a huge smile across his
face, a content giggle emerging from his lips every so often.
" Never knew they had pacifiers on Bejito-Sei..." Mirai said, then smirked, " Warrior
race, yeah right. " he chuckled to himself as he walked up the stairs, leaving Bra & Vegeta
alone in the kitchen.
" Daddy! Daddy wake up! " Bra shook Vegeta, then smiled, " Guess what! I killed
"Kakorot"!!! " she exclaimed as Vegeta sat up, wide-eyed.
" REALLY!? " he grinned, then noticed Bra laughing happily, " Alright child, what did
you really wake me up for? "
" Lookie what I got! " she dropped the gum in Vegeta's hand, " It's mint. " she smiled.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes, " Where did you get this? "
" One of the plants in Mommy's garden gave it to me. " Bra answered as Vegeta raised
an eyebrow.
" Uh-huh. " Vegeta said, then rubbed his hands together & stuffed multiple pieces in his
mouth, " Hey, this is actually pretty good! " he continued to chew the gum.
" Daddy, can I have some? " Bra asked as Vegeta handed her a piece, Bra sniffed the gum.
" Hmm, strange, it doesn't seem minty at all, kind of spicy actually...oh well. " Vegeta
shrugged it off as Bra unwrapped her piece of gum & examined it.
" Hey Daddy, isn't this the same gum that made Goten's Daddy lose his tastebuds? " Bra
said curiously as Vegeta's eyes popped open. He spat out the gum and began to hack.
" THIS CAME FROM KAKOROT'S HOUSE!!!! " he screamed in fright, " THAT BAKAYARO! HE SET ME
UP! I'LL KILL HIM!!! I'LL DESTROY HIM!!! I'LL, " Vegeta yelled at the top of his lungs.
" --end up going a week without being able to taste stuff? " Bra added as Vegeta
nervously licked his lips, unable to taste any of the spicy flavor of the gum still around his
mouth and gasped, then toppled onto the ground, accidently smacking his head against the oven.
" Daddy? Daddy? " Bra shook Vegeta, then bit giggled, " Silly Daddy! "
" Dad? Hey Dad? " Gohan whispered as Goku yawned, " You'll never believe what happened
to Vegeta last night? "
Goku sniffed the air, " PANCAKES! ALRIGHT! " he bounded out of bed & ran out of the room,
the poked his head in the doorway, " Can't talk now son, after I eat! " Goku rushed downstairs &
leaped into his seat, " HI CHI-CHI! " Goku grinned.
" Well, aren't we Mister Perky this morning. I'd never thought you'd get out of that
slump you were in the other day. " Chi-Chi said as she covered a large wedding cake behind her &
served Goku some pancakes.
" I don't know, but I have a feeling something very special's gonna happen to-day! " Goku
smiled as Chi-Chi glanced at her husband oddly.
" What ARE you talking about Goku? " she asked as Goku let out a giggle.
" I got hungry last night, and I went downstairs & took a muffin out of the fridge, and
GUESS WHAT! "
" What? " Chi-Chi said, confused.
" IT TASTED LIKE MUFFIN!!!! " Goku waved his arms about happily as Chi-Chi narrowed her
eyes.
" Are you insulting my cooking SonGoku? " she said warningly as Goku looked at her, then
grabbed his plate & downed his pancakes whole.
" No! I'm saying my tongues back to normal! And the syrup tastes sweet and the pancakes
taste pastrylike and the butter tastes like-- "
" Butter? " Chi-Chi said, trying to add on.
" YEAH! " Goku grinned widely, " How did you know? "
" I'm psychic Goku, I know everything. " Chi-Chi said sarcastically.
" Really? Quick! Tell me what I'm thinking about right now! " Goku said enthusiastically
as Chi-Chi rolled her eyes.
" Food. " she mumbled.
" WOW CHI-CHI! YOU ARE PSYCHO! "
" PsyCHIC Goku. " Chi-Chi corrected, a vein bulging on her forehead.
" That's what I said...HEY! I have to go tell Bulma the great news! BULMA!!! " Goku
cried as he lept out the window. Chi-Chi put her hand on her forehead.
Chi-Chi groaned, " That man is pickles shy of a jar. "
Goku stuck his head in anxiously, " Pickles?! Where?! "
" DING DONG! " the doorbell rang out in a high-pitched sound as Bulma yawned and got up
out of bed.
" Now who could that be! " she walked down the stairs in her light pink robe, then put
on her slippers & slowly opened the door, closing her eyes slightly as a reaction to the
immense sunlight.
" HI BULMA!!! " Goku shouted happily as he grabbed his old friend & hugged her, " GUESS
WHAT BULMA! I'M CURED! I CAN TASTE FOOD AGAIN! ISN'T THAT GREAT!!!! "
Bulma groaned in pain from the squeeze & unlatched herself from Goku's arms, " Huhwha? "
she said, " Goku, I just got out of bed I haven't even had any coffee yet! " she cried as Goku
grinned.
" I HAVE! " he raised his hand as if he were in school.
" I noticed. " Bulma said meekly as she wobbled over to the kitchen & began to brew up
some coffee for herself.
" And ya know what it tasted like?! " Goku continued on in a sing-song voice.
" No Goku, what did it taste like. " Bulma said in a weak voice as she poured the coffee
out into a mug.
" It TASTED like COFFEE!! " Goku waved his arms about happily as Bulma mumbled to herself
" I swear, that man sweats sugar. " she moaned to herself as she sipped her drink, then
sighed contently.
" OHHHHHHHHH!!!! " a familiar voice groaned from upstairs in the bedroom as Goku smiled.
" I bet I know who-that-is! " Goku sang as he skipped over to the bottom of the staircase
as Bulma reached her hand out from where she was sitting.
" NO GOKU! DON'T! " she cried, unfortunately, thanks to Goku's instant transmission, the
saiya-jin was know standing in the bedroom. Bulma got up from her chair & ran up the stairs after
him.
" HI THERE VEGGIEHEAD! " Goku's voice sang out as Vegeta opened his eyes, face to face
with "Kakorot".
" AHH! " Vegeta shrieked, then growled, " KAKOROT! "
" Hey Vegeta, guess what! " he giggled as Vegeta made a fist.
" GET OUT OF HERE KAKOROT! THANKS TO YOU AND THAT BLASTED EARTH FOOD OF YOURS I CAN NO
LONGER TASTE ANYTHING!!! " Vegeta howled angrily as Goku continued to giggle, " What are YOU so
happy about, YOU can't TASTE anything either you fool! "
Goku let out a giggle, " Hey Vegeta, I can do something that you can't! " he sang happily
while Vegeta folded his arms. Goku looked left, then right, " I can taste my foooood and you
can't! Lalalalalalala! Hee-hee-hee! " Goku laughed, prancing about as Vegeta felt his eyes begin
to get soggy as they welled up with tears, " Whatsa matter Vegeta? Are you crying? " Goku asked
as Vegeta pulled the covers overtop of himself and tried desperately to keep himself from bawling
" KAKOROT! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!! " Vegeta cried as he pointed towards the exit.
" Hey Vegeta? " Goku asked as Vegeta pulled the covers off of himself, his eyes glassy.
" WHAT DO YOU WANT NOW!!!! " he screamed as Goku looked about, then pulled something out
of his pocket.
Goku grinned happily as he revealed the object, " Want some gum? "
